Hehe... this is more of a weight loss rant thread than a weight loss journal thread. But at least we're getting it all out of our systems, right? Then we can focus on the important task at hand!

So ladies, what are we going to reward ourselves with after reaching our goals?
Instead of a bag, I'm going to buy some new clothes. The thought of that alone motivates me!

There's a show on TLC about weight loss. The guy says that you should "eat when you're hungry", by doing that you won't have cravings that will make you OVER eat. He said that slender people eat what they want and not gain weight because they don't pig out on it. He also says that you should eat what you WANT to, not what you think you should. It's a really interesting show.

Oh fun!! I used to date a personal trainer and I was in tip-top shape. Now I just date a man who's leg is thinner than my arm. No...not really. He was once a sponsored snowboarder, still snowboards but now works on the business side of it like myself. So he's in good shape but drinks too much beer, eats lots of junk (but only like once a day) and he smokes like a chimney (well...he's cut back to 2-3 a day).
I am big on calorie counting. So I used this website FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal to log my foods! It's fun but I wish it was a little more up to date. When you enter in a new food - it misses some important nutritional info.
3/27
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 120lbs
Goal: 110lbs (I am going on a beach vacation with 5 of my close girlfriends on June 26th...so that's a big date marker for me)
I had a Weight Control oatmeal pack, a large DD toasted almond coffee (with skim milk and splenda) and a little bit of my green tea. I have a banana here too but the oatmeal surprisingly has filled me up. I was born and raised in NY so my standard breakfast when leaving to work was egg & cheese on a roll. I loved it (still do) but I'm realizing the oatmeal fills me up MORE than the sandwich did.

Today I made another ham grinder with lowfat mayo and tomato. I didn't add any cheese. And I also had a few wheat thins. And I had some diet raspberry soda to drink. So I'm doing pretty good so far. Tomorrow I will weigh myself to see if i've made ANY progress. Though the first few pounds (depending on your size and how much you have to lose) are water weight. Anyways, on my second day into this, I'm already starting to feel better about myself! So I'd say i'm on the right track!

No breakfast... was late getting up to go to class.
For lunch, I had a hot hoagie from DaVincis. Turkey, cheese, lettuce... no mayo or dressing, which I don't like anyway so its all good!
Coming up for dinner, I'm thinking taco salads. We don't put all that really bad stuff on them (e.g. sour cream, guacamole, etc) so it should be a nice, light meal.
Exercise today, haven't had time yet to do any cardio... I did run up three flights of stairs going to class though. My class in on the 3rd floor of this old historical building on campus... the ceilings are 12 feet high, so those flights are much longer than normal ones.

^sounds like you're on the right track too! i love taco salads. i usually use ground turkey or peices of chicken breasts instead of the ground beef and its so yummy! and i always buy lowfat shredded cheese and fat free sour cream. btw, did you know that they have these new "Light tortilla chips" out? - they have like 1g of fat per serving instead of the usual 7grams. and the calories are cut down at least by a third i think. and the best part about it - they don't taste light!!!!!

what kind of cardio do you recommend? and any diet tips? i heard lots of protein and less carbs is the way to go...but i love carbs, lol.
Since you just wanna t lose some pounds...I recommend simple stuff like a treadmills,tread climbers, areobic class, ect. for at least 30 mins a day for 4-5 times a week. If you hate running...you can speed walk. Just as long as you get your heart rate up and SWEAT.
As for food, You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day...starting with BREAKFAST. By, eating breakfast..it'll actually help wake your metabolism up in the morning and get it working...It'll help you burn more fat and store less.
I really dont like to restrict too many types of food on a normal person and have the them suffer and quit on me early into the program. haha . Just stick to the basics, Like...NO SUGAR!!, NO MAYO!! (even "low fat" mayo) , No Junk food, No white bread (but, you can still have carbs...just dont over do it), and cut back on the saturated fats as much as you can.
Stick to white meat chicken, turkey, fish, small portions of beef, and plenty on veggies and fruits. Also, be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of 8 oz water a day.
Ps- it really simple, Just use common sense. If you think that what youre eating is bad..then it probably is!!!
^^but what is wrong with lowfat mayo? oh and also - is diet soda that bad when trying to lose weight? its my weekness....

Mayo is mayo!!! And some people thnk that just because it says "low fat" they can just pile it up high on the sandwich. lmao Which is not cool.
For example...Sodas are bad for you as you know. And some people think that diet Sodas are better...which is false. Soda is still soda!!!
YOu know what I hate?!!! ...I hate going to a restaurant and seeing people order stuff like 2 triple cheese burger with extra large chili fries and a DIET soda....
Whats wrong with this picture?! I mean...Do they actually think that the diet soda is gonna make a difference? hahaha
